No solution for me. I have to get it in 7.3.

Hi Wim,
when I'm guessing you created que with /NO_INIT qualifier I ask what do you want within esc P sequence?
I can't remember what does means in ANSI standard.

Just found that escape on the net. Tried several escapes without result. Or better : with garbage on the page instead of a formfeed.

Wim,
some times ago I met a trouble like yours. After investigation I discovered after form feed software sended a escape sequence to restore font and other feature. Some laser printer receiving this sequence make a blank page.
If you have time and patience, you can set hexdump print on printer and print a very little text file then you can see what printer receive after form-feed (code 12 or hex 0C).

Wim,

As far as I know to suppress the formfeeds you must set the logical TCPIP$TELNETSYM_SUPPRESS_FORM_FEEDS to 35.
Even set the logical TCPIP$TELNETSYM_RAW_TCP to TRUE.
Even if I'm informed correctly you can set this logical per printer.
So TCPIP$TELNETSYM_SUPPRESS_FORM_FEEDS_ABC will be used for the queue 'ABC'.
You need to use the TCPIP$TELNETSYM, but that is I think known ...

Antonio, Wim,

EscP escape sequence is named Device Control String. All characters which are after this sequence are not interpreted as ANSI escape sequences. You must end with a String Terminator escape sequence which is esc\. In 8 bit communication you can use 0x90 (DCS) instead of escP and 0x9C (ST) instead of esc\.
